This may seem a little strange, but many decorators find that choosing the night stands first is the best way to design a bedroom. Clients are often vague about the sort of bed they'd like, and may even seem somehow shy about admitting what sort of bedroom furniture they're looking for. There are so many possible styles to choose from, the easiest way to narrow it down is to look at different styles of nightstand. This can then be used to determine the look of the room.

Another place to measure is the height of the bed. This is necessary so that you can be sure not to get nightstands that are either too tall or too short with your bed. The ideal height of nightstands is the same as the height of the bed or perhaps a couple of inches shorter. Any taller or shorter than these guidelines and it just won't seem right with the bed. Also remember to measure how far the nightstands will stick out from the wall. If having enough space to walk next to the bed is an issue, then this will be a very important measurement as well.

Modern nightstands can easily be found nowadays. The smooth and dark color is usually the frequent features of modern nightstands. An aluminum lamp fits perfectly for this theme. Adding up a clear vase and flowers on top of the desk will compliment the modern mood well. Modern theme is great for technical gadgets too. These days, people are much inclined with the newest technology. An iPod dock with alarm clock is what we favour to place in our nightstands.
